DISHWASHIN G MACHINE.

Application led `September 16, 1926. Serial No. 135,715.

This invention relates to improvements in dish washing machines, and has for one of its principal objects the provision of means whereby dishes and similar objects may be rcadily and conveniently Washed and cleansed in an economical and eliicient mauner.

One of the important objects ot" this in volition is to provide. in a dish washing maL chine. the combination of. means for both washing and drying dishes and similar objects. while at the same time providing ttor a clean and sanitary method of such operation.

(,)thcr and further important objects o'f the invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the acrompaoying drawings and following sptuzilication.

The invention, in a` preterrcd torin. is illustralcd in the drawings and hereinafter more t'ully described.

In the i'lrawings:

,li`igurel is a vertical section of thc improved dish washing' machine ot this inven tion.

liligure is a similar vertical section showing the dish supporting colander in raised drying pos tion.

Figure 3 a detail view showing one oi'i the mop suplliorting elements.

Figure l is a perspective view of a mop used in. the machine.

Figure Si a detail View illustrating the construction of the mop supporting cam, and i Figure (l is a detail view showing the means for locking the dish supporting col` ander in raised posit-ion.

As shown in the drawings:

The reference numeral 1() indicates generally the casing of the improved dish wasliing machine of this invention, having mounted therein an operating motor 12 which drives a shaft 14, the shaft having in turn mounted thereon a gear 16. which meshes with a longitudinal gear 18 mounted on a central drive shaft 20, from which the dish supporting eolander 22 is supported, and whereby this colander is rotated. The colaruler itself is positioned in a water tank or the like 24, which provided with a spigot 26, whereby the same may be readily emptied` if desired.

A pulley 28 is also mounted on the shaft 14 and by means ofa belt 30 drives the operating shaft 36 mounted in suitableA sleeves 38 on the casing lll/.and having adjustably mounted on its upper end a mop i.

supporting bracket 40 from which depend mop holders 42 having mops 14 removably attached thereto. The mop holders 42j`1nay be attached to the brackets 40 in any convenient manner, as by winged nuts or by bolts.

The mops 44 are co11st1`"ucted with upper encircling bands 46 whereby they ma be readily attached and detached to and rom the brackets 42. y

As shown in Figure 2, the dish supporting colander 22 may be raised from the water in the tank 24 by the operation of a lever 50, which in turn lifts the shaft 2O into raised position. whereby the dishes in the colander 22 may be conveniently dried. new dry mops 44 being at the same time attached tothe mop holders 42. The operating lever 50 is adapted to be locked in colander raising position by means of a latch or the like 52 forming part of the casing support 10, as best shown in detail in Figure 6.

It will be evident that herein is provided a means for economically and conveniently washing dishes or the like, with a minimum of trouble and inconvenience, while at the same time there is provided suitable means for disposing of the Wash Water and the maintenance of the entire apparatus in a clean, sanitary condition at all times.

i I am aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction varied throughout a Wide range Without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore` do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon otherwise than as necessitated by the prior art. I claim as my invention: 1. In a dish washing machine, the combination of a dish watertank, means mounted i in said tank for supporting `dishes in both raised and lowered positions, said means comprising a central vertical shaft extending through the bottom of the tank, a colander in the tank suspended from the top of said shaft, manually operated means associated with the lower end of said shaft for `raising the colander in the dish Water tank, and means for rotating the colander in both raised and lowered positions, said means oolnprisin` a motor driven gear and a longitudinal gear on the shaft in mesh with said motor driven gear.

2. In a` dish Washing machine, the combination oit' a dish water tank, means mounted in said tank for supporting dishes in both raised and lowered positions, said means oomprisinnr a eolander. and means for raining the oolander in the dish water tank, together with additional means for rotatinglr the eolander in both raised and lowered positions, and a plurality of mops recipro- 'oa-tively mounted with refspeot to the dish supporting eolander.

3. In a dish Washlng machine, the eomhinatlon of a dish Water tank, means mounted in saidv tank lt'or supporting dishes in both raised and lowered poSitionS, Said means comprising a central shaft, a eolander on the shaft, a dish Water tank, a manually operated lover for raising); the eolander Afrom the dish Water tank, together with a longitudinal gear on the shaft for rotating the oolander in both raised and lowered position, and a pluralityr of mops reeiproeatively mounted with respect to the diSh supporting eolander, and means for supporting said lnops in (niorating position, said moana oomprising cam operated hrarkets and hooks on the ends of the brackets adapted for the removable positioning of the lnope.

In testimony whereof I aliix nrv signature.
